Lets's calculate LCM of 242,8638
2 | 242, 8638 |
121, 4319 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 121 x 4319 = 1045198
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/1045198
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8333/242,3458/8638 is 13/1045198
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 242,8638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,8638) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,8638) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(242,8638) = ( 242 × 8638 ) / 2
LCM(242,8638) = 2090396 / 2
LCM(242,8638) = 1045198
